The Honey Thief. 



61 



John Dull by chancer'came strolling by, 

 His hives upset first met his eye; 

 He saw they both were tenanted — 

 Amazed he looked, then 'scratched his head ; 



Peered all around, espied Christine 

 And her own true love Dicky Dean ; 

 Behind the bee house they were placed. 

 And Dicky's arm was round her waist.
